Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It's also implied that she engages in statutory rape.

She's unaware of Josh's real age though, so I don't know the legal or moral implications.

Moral implications don't exist for her. She saw a fully adult male.

Legal implications don't exist, because no law on the books takes into account the concept of a child inhabiting an adults body.

Josh on the other hand......

Josh is a child and bears no responsibility for any sexual encounters

Solid assessment.

I think the closest legal grounds we have would be when an adult that has the mental capacity of a child is the victim. Of course this isn't the same scenario, and all tangible evidence is lost when Josh returned to his normal body.

Any questionable acts would happen after the movie's end. My thoughts have always been what the effects were to Susan once she saw he was telling the truth. We don't even really get that short of the look of amazement, and maybe shock on her face.

I'd imagine she would be the one feeling violated here.

At least he appears to be a grown ass man, unlike the Disney film Blank Check.

immediately what I thought of when I read this post. Even when I was 10 I was like "this is weird..."

The worst double standard we have as a society is that only girls are victims of weird stuff like this.
